When it comes down to it, the bear usually costs $25 if not a bit more, and then the outfit, shoes, voice boxes, etc. Cost extra, so don't you think paying $25 plus, in the $40-60 range, is a bit TOO much for a stuffed animal? Or do you think it is worth it?

I know I have 2 bears, one I got lucky with, and got for $4.00 at a swap meet, and the other I got on clearance for like $18 or 16 bucks I forgot how much haha. So I saved a bit on my bears with my finds.

But in general, I have always thought Build a Bear's bears of any kind and their outfits and all the other add-on's is a bit too much money. But what do you think?

I agree that BABW can be a little too pricey, especially as Meghan said since you can't bring them to live on Bearville anymore. The last time I went (last August), it cost over $40 to get the bear I wanted and an outfit to go with it, and that was with a sale going on! The prices definitely affect how much I buy at the store, I rarely buy things there because it is so expensive.
